The youth, who is now 19, was arrested after putting about 250 posters on poles, bus shelters and walls around the resort last December. Among them were six posters put around the Queenstown Islamic Centre at the Gorge Rd Retail Centre. Queenstown District Court staff yesterday confirmed he had completed diversion, and a judge had made an order for permanent name suppression.
